I hate rain (and cold). Have I mentioned that like 35278508635 times yet? My hometown is sunshiny for the majority of the year. Moving to Japan I got SAD really bad. You know what else I hate about rainy days? They’re boring. Yeah I’ve been watching TV all day, but because I can’t go outside… Continue reading Organizing, food & diet, and TV…
This week is White Day. I’ve talked about White Day before, but just as a refresher it’s a bullshit Asian holiday where the man is supposed to reciprocate his lady’s Valentine’s Day gift (multiplied by 2 or 3). I made Mamoru some donuts with chocolate sauce and some pizza for Valentine’s Day, but that day… Continue reading This week…
As of yesterday, my schedule is completely clear for next week, so I can use that time to recover. I told one freelance client that I was having surgery. She inquired what for and where, so I lied to her on both accounts. Japanese people can be so nosy sometimes. I hated lying to her,… Continue reading Waiting…
No doctor’s appointment this week. I’ll start at the hospital a week from today with a whole shitload of blood tests. Yay? Anyway, I went to work at Company H yesterday for the last time until mid-March. It was exhausting. I have to tell them about the pregnancy, but I don’t know when is a… Continue reading 8 weeks 2 days…
Today I am 5 weeks pregnant. I never thought I’d type that line let alone actually be 5 weeks pregnant. Most days I still can’t believe this is real. Mamoru caught a cold so I’ve been staying away from him. I bought some masks to wear on the train. I’m worried about catching something while… Continue reading 5 weeks…
I had to run out of the house quickly this morning, so I didn’t get to compare today’s preggo test with yesterday’s. I’ll check it when I get home. I’m always afraid that instead of getting darker the test will get lighter. It always starts out light. However, yesterday’s test showed darker than the day… Continue reading Mild woes…
The scale hit 63.7kg today. That’s 140 pounds. Holy shit I can’t tell you the last time I remember weighing 140 pounds. It was before I moved to Japan, I’ll tell you that. On Facebook the memories come up daily, and I look at old pictures of myself either on FB itself or on my… Continue reading More on the weight loss…
It’s nearing 5AM in Japan, and it’s raining. I’ve arrived home a little after 7PM. Yesterday upon getting my massive bags up 3 flights of stairs, I immediately dropped to the ground and hugged the ever lovin’ crap outta Small Lady. I’m not sure when Mamoru got home but I was well in dreamland at… Continue reading Back to life…
Holy shit I haven’t written a blog in a while. I’m sorry about that. Life has got me wrapped up in it’s wave of damn near everything and I’ve only been home to eat or sleep. This life is for the birds! I’ve taken on another freelance client (Gurio) which doesn’t fill the gaping money… Continue reading Mega long crazy update…
My before pictures suck really. I’m sorry about that. Honestly, I had no desire to ever be photographed during the time I was fat. I’m sure you understand. Anyway, I’m pretty proud of my weight loss, so I thought I’d finally share it. To date I’ve lost 13kg (31lbs) and I’m still going strong. (Also,… Continue reading On the internet, we must be brave…
